StagKnight? What’s StagKnight?

by -RoG- on 04/20/2006, 11:02 pm

I'll tell you what it is. StagKnight is an indie movie that's gonna be at the Cannes Festival this year and I-Mockery is appearing in it! No not me as an actor, though I clearly should be in the film. I mean really, what movie couldn't be improved with the addition of a man in a pickle hat and goggles? Anyway, as I was saying, I-Mockery (the web site) will be making an appearance in the film so I command you all to support it in any way humanly possible. Just think how someday you'll be watching StagKnight on TV and I-Mockery pops up on the screen and you'll say to your friends, "Hey! I know that guy... er... site!" Then they'll all laugh at you and kick your ass for watching a movie just to catch a glimpse of a web site that you frequent. Nerd.

In all seriousness though, this movie is very promising as far as cheezy flicks go. It's got everything... sex, drugs, violence, and this angry fella:

STAGKNIGHT! see more at stagknight.com

I'm told that they'll have some video footage in about a month or so where you can see I-Mockery in the movie along with our pals over at Newgrounds. "We're a happy family! We're a happy family! Me, mom & dad!" Until then, you can check out this trailer which should be more than enough to sell you on the film. Their web site also just launched recently so be sure to check that out too!

Our latest trip to the Virginia Science Museum

by -RoG- on 04/07/2006, 2:35 pm

If you've ever been to Richmond before, chances are you visited the Virginia Science Museum as it's one of of the... maybe five things to do in this pseudo-city. We've already attended a few of their Halloween exhibits such as the entertaining Grossology exhibit and the far less impressive Bones exhibit. So we're always on the lookout for their latest attractions, whether it's another fun exhibit or a new movie showing in their I-Max theater.

Well, last month we found out there was going to be a big Video Game exhibit at the Science Museum - complete with game competitions and a room filled with classic games. Could there possibly be a better way to spend a Saturday than getting to check out a ton of classic arcade games and maybe compete against some people? In another state, sure, but in Richmond... this seemed like a virtual godsend. So we all jumped in the car and headed on over to the Virginia Science Museum for a day of gaming goodness.

Upon our arrival, we couldn't really see much gaming-related stuff going on... but they assured us there was plenty, so we paid the 12 bux for our tickets and went in. The first thing on my list was to find the classic games arcade room... I mean, this was basically the whole reason I came to the museum. So they point me over to this little room in the corner, and I was instantly confused because I didn't hear a roar of bleeps and bloops coming from that direction. Do you know why I didn't hear the roar of those wonderful sounds? Because this is what the "classic arcade room" looked like:

Classic Games? Uhh... Hello?

What the!?!?

THIS. IS. BULLSHIT!

So the classic video game arcade was nothing more than a few TVs with those cheap-assed battery-powered plug-n-play video games hooked up to them? That's it!?!? Yes my friends, we had been officially ripped off. Hell, for the price of admission I could have bought one of those plug-n-play video games for myself! Gah! I love how they had a hundred chairs setup in that room too, as if those few shitty TV games were going to draw in a huge crowd.

We then made our way through the rest of the museum in search of the gaming competitions that were going on. Again, it was cheap as hell... no real arcade machines whatsoever. They had a room filled with people watching two guys play a football game on the Xbox. That was the big competition and I had to keep reminding myself, "You paid to see this Roger, YOU PAID TO SEE THIS!"

Well, aside from the huge let-down that was the so-called video game exhibit, the trip wasn't a total bust because two good things happened: 1) I got to ride on one of those Segway scooter thingamabobs that they were demonstrating. Yes they're overpriced as hell, but damned if they aren't fun. and 2) I filmed my friend Scott messing around with one of the marble water balls outside the museum. So lucky you, you get to see this amazing video footage:

Dictionary.com’s word of the day…

Dictionary.com Word of the Day for Wednesday April 5, 2006
cum \KUM; KUHM\, preposition:
With; along with; combined with; -- often used in combination.

They really should have put this one out on April 1st instead of today. Maybe even temporarily renamed the site dicktionary.com for the day. Ok, this concludes my burst of immature humor... for now.

(huhuhuh he said "burst")

NO WAY! IT WAS ALL A JOKE!?!?!?

Newgrounds acquires I-Mockery to form 'I-Grounds'

Yes, the whole big thing about Newgrounds.com acquiring I-Mockery.com and turning it into "I-Grounds" was just a big April Fool's joke. Just for the record, I didn't expect to fool anybody with this gag. I mean, it did take place on April 1st, and it happened on an internet humor site... that right there should clue pretty much everybody in on the fact that it was a prank. But still, I got a ton of emails from people all freaked out about the acquisition. What was more amusing was how some people really started to wonder if it was true when I left the gag up all day on Sunday too. It's funny how an extra 24 hours can set some people into panic mode. So again, I-Mockery isn't changing (not that us being owned by NG would be bad or anything, but there's no way I-Mockery could ever be a "portal" humor site where any random person could login and submit their own humorous articles).

For those of you who missed it, the April Fool's gag will forever be located at this URL:
http://www.i-mockery.com/default-ng.php

And of course you can see the announcement page here:
http://www.i-mockery.com/igrounds.php

While we're on the subject though, I'd like to thank some of the other people who helped out with my April Fool's prank. First off, I gotta thank good ol' Pox for helping out by drawing PickleMan into the Newgrounds Tank logo and making it shoot out the pickles across the screen. Secondly, I gotta thank my pals Stamper and Tom Fulp over at Newgrounds for going along with the prank and helping make it seem slightly more realistic by making a news post about it.

And last but not least, I'd like to thank you guys:

1) Thanks to those of you who thought you were super clever for figuring out this act of chicanery. You guys should become detectives! o.O

2) Thanks to those of you who somehow managed to fall for this seemingly obvious gag. I needed some hearty chuckles and you delivered them, at your own expense!

Alright, that's all for now. I now return you to the same old I-Mockery. You know, the one you love to hate... or hate to love... or the one you wish was a sandwich. Mmmm.

UPDATE: Why am I not surprised that someone would immediately try to cash in on this highly publicized gag by purchasing the "I-Grounds" domain name and putting it up on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7606597736.

Good times...

A culinary victory

by -RoG- on 03/29/2006, 12:44 am

I've never considered myself much of a cook. The reason for this is because I'm one of the pickiest eaters you'll ever encounter. That's no exaggeration, it's just a simple fact. Hell, even most vegans would say I'm too picky for my own good. So when it comes to eating, I tend to like very plain stuff (plain spaghetti with cheese, plain chicken, plain toast, plain plain plain) and therefore never had any need to learn how to cook a real fancy meal for myself.

Well, one of my favorite snacks has always been Rice Krispy Treats. They're a very simple, plain treat, but still tasty as hell. Problem is, I always get tired of spending 3-4 bux on a box of 'em when i know they cost probably 1/100th of that price to make. So today I finally decided I would take on the daunting task of actually making Rice Krispy Treats. Granted, they're about as hard to make as a can of Chef Boyardee beefaroni, but to me it still wasn't guaranteed that they'd turn out right. The fact that I had to melt butter in a pot had me envisioning a small grease fire in the very near future.

I'm happy to report, however, that my attempt to make Rice Krispy Treats was a huge success. Behold!

SNAP! CRACKLE! POP!

Tell me that isn't a thing of beauty. They taste just as good as they look too. Here's the recipe in case any of you wanna try making 'em.

Well anyway, that's my big triumph of the week so far. Hey, gimme a break... I was sick in bed all last week. Making these treats was an action-packed adventure in comparison! Ok so now it's your turn: what culinary conundrums have you guys overcome?
